i was running the lastest version of Avast Home Edition, today i saw the green box telling me that a new version was available, so i clicked the link to download the latest, i then let it load and followed the instructions to reboot. Once i did, i received the following error:
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000006). Click on OK to terminate the application.
ashAvast.exe
i click OK and the program terminates.
if i try to uninstall the program, the computer freezes up, if i try to re-install a downloaded version, the computer freezes.
When i attempted to use the aswclear.exe utility, the following message comes up:
The avast! self protection module is enabled. For this reason, the operation cannot be completed. ... to disable the avast! self protection...
Of course i cannot because i cannot run the program...
HELP!
My System is a Win XP MCE with SP3.
thanks,
Avi
